    I guess they do really work, but so far I've never needed one. 7 degrees on the kingpin, and 1/16" toe in has always made mine track great!

    I felt bad about your weather situation and tried to email you some Hawaii weather. Unfortunately I found out I broke some law, "the Law of Physics" (wtf is that?) and it wouldn't work. Soon as I figure a way around it, 80 degree temps are on the way. :rolleyes::D

    Lol! If she likes cars suggest to her that she learn auto mechanics and build hotrods in a southwestern state. I've lived in several states, on all three coasts and around the country, northernmost being South Dakota and Illinois. As nice as they are its cold as hell in the wintertime. Being in Minnesota I'm not telling you anything. Southwestern states seem to be warmer and drier. Hawaii is a beautiful place but just too damn expensive, plus raw material for hot rods is hard to find. Most likely we'll be retiring on the mainland. Bottom line? In her younger years, go with the winds and jobs that are best, but looking at retirement time, look for someplace you won't freeze your ass of in the winter.

    Time to have fun driving it! I'm sure you'll miss the build part, but the fun of enjoying something you built that turns heads will be worth all the work you've done!
